And, of course it s
13、 something that works both ways, for we too are being judged on our appearance. When we look good, we feel good, which in turn leads to a more confident and self-assured manner. People then pick up on this confidence and respond positively towards us. Undoubtedly, its whats inside thats important, b
14、ut sometimes we can send out the wrong signals simply by wearing inappropriate clothing or not spending enough time thinking about how others see us. 1 For example, people often make the mistake of trying to look like someone else theyve seen in a magazine, but this is usually a disaster as we all h
15、ave our own characteristics. Stand in front of a full-length mirror and be honest with yourself about what you see. There is no need to dwell on your faultswe all have good points and bad pointsbut think instead about the best way to emphasize the good ones. 2 When selecting your clothes each day, t
16、hink about who you re likely to meet, when youre going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly, some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this will dictate your choice to an extent. However, theres no need to abandon your indi
17、vidual taste completely. After all, if you dress to please somebody elses idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite yourself. 3 But to know your own mind, you have to get to know yourself. What do you truly feel good in? There are probably a few favorite items that
18、you wear a lotmost people wear 20 percent of their wardrobe 80 percent of the time. Look at these clothes and ask yourself what they have in common. Are they neat and tidy, loose and flowing? Then look at the things hanging in your wardrobe that you don t wear and ask yourself why. Go through a few
19、magazines and catalogues and mark the things that catch your eye. Is there a common theme? 4 Some colors bring your natural coloring to life and others can give us a washed-out appearance. Try out new colors by all means, but remember that dressing in bright color when you really like subtle neutral
20、 tones, or vice versa, will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. You know deep down where your own taste boundaries lie. And although its good to challenge those sometimes with new combinations or shades, take care not to go too far all at once. 5 So, youve chosen an outfit that matches y
21、our style, your personality, your shape and your coloring. But does it fit? If something is too tight or too loose, you won t achieve the desired effect, and no matter what other qualities it has, it won t improve your appearance or your confidence. Sometimes, we buy things without thinking. Some pe
22、ople who dislike shopping grab the first thing they see, or prefer to use mail-order or the Internet. In all cases, if it doesn t fit perfectly, dont buy it, because the finer details are just as important as the overall style. Reappraising your image isn t selfish because everyone who comes into co
23、ntact with you will benefit. You 11 look better and you 11 feel a better person all round. And if in doubt, you only need to read Professor Albert Mehrabian s book Silent Messages to remind yourself how important outward appearances are. His research showed that the impact we make on each other depe

26、aced with uncertainty. Leaders must, at any point, be willing to make a split-second decision with potentially long-lasting and profound impacts. Here are five criteria to consider when making your next big decision: 1 In the military, there was(and still is)a pecking order of priority upon which de
27、cisions are based. The mission always came first, followed by what would serve the team, and finally, what would serve the individual. The individual always comes last because he or she was always the smallest link in the organization al chain. Playing to self-interest serves little purpose, and tha
28、ts not what a team or an organization is about. 2 Well, “never“ is a strong word, but you get the idea. I ve said before that failure is only determined by where you choose to stop, and it also depends on how that particular problem is perceived. The higher one ascends within an organization. For ex
29、ample, the same problem that appears tricky at one level may not necessarily be the right one to solve for at another. Seek as many viewpoints as you can to enhance your understanding of the situation. 3 There are internal and external influences that shape the feasibility of execution along a given
30、 timeline. Internal influences refer to the competency of you and your team to execute the decision in the given time, whereas external influences signify the driving forces that impact the deadline that you have no control over, such as weather, the economy or market demand. You want to ask yoursel
31、f two questions. First, “Is now the right time to decide?“ If the answer is yes, then your next question is, “Am I capable of executing the decision?“ If the answer is no then ask “why?“ 4 These are the constraints surrounding the execution of your decisions. A known unknown is when you realize a sp
32、ecific intangible exists but cant quantify how much, such as traffic. For instance, youre aware that rush hour in Los Angeles never really has an end point, so it could take you from 20 minutes to two hours to travel from A to B. The point is, you know that uncertainty exists but dont know how much.
33、 Unknown unknowns are when Murphy likes to throw another wrench in the mix that you simply cant plan for, such as a vehicle accident or engine breakdown. Try to identify all constraints as best you can so you know how to align them towards the purpose of your decision. 5 If at first you dont succeed
34、, try, try again. The result of any effort will depend in part on the resources used to execute it, so be sure to identify not only the primary resources available but also secondary ones, too. Every decision should have a contingency plan for when those unknown unknowns arise and deem your primary
35、course of action obsolete. Decision-making can paralyze you if youre not prepared. Tackle your next major dilemma using the aforementioned considerations and feel better about the decisions you come to.（分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_考研英语（阅读）模拟试卷 476 答案解析(总分：50.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Reading C
